Relevant Information:

This species was described by Boulenger
in 1920 as S. ornatus (Pappenheim & Boulenger, 1914)
but it turned out that this species was already described and
was probably a synomyn of S.
nigrita so Gosse renamed this species
as S. ornatissimus in 1982. Recognised by the large eye
(similar to S. pleurops)
and short barbels.
